Masjid Ahmad (Jawi: مسجد أحمد; Ahmad Mosque) is a mosque located along Lorong Sarhad street, within the neighborhood of Pasir Panjang in southern Queenstown, Singapore. It was established in 1934 as a small village's mosque but has since been expanded into a larger, modernized structure.[1]
History
[edit]In 1934, Ahmad Yahya, a former ship captain, donated land to build a mosque for a Malay village at Lorong Sarhad.[2][3] The original mosque building was eventually considered to be outdated due to its small size and hence was rebuilt in 2001–2004.[2][4] The reconstruction expanded the structure of the mosque to at least a thousand worshippers while continuing to retain the traditional Malay architectural features of the original mosque.[5]
Accessibility
[edit]Masjid Ahmad is located along the Lorong Sarhad street within the Chwee Chian housing estate, which is composed mainly of landed houses. The nearest MRT station to the mosque is Pasir Panjang MRT station.[6]
